that was so beautifully written..aren't we just blessed to be Canadians and to have such big hearts as to help out everywhere in the world. there are so many things in this world that are fragile..like your cup..and knowing that it is from Japan is a timely reminder.oxd

Their pottery work is so beautiful..as is their ability to 'illustrate' and paint on it. The cup you found is an absolute beauty. Love how you've creatively put the images together. And - yes - we're all devastated by the destruction in Japan. That photo says more than 1000 words. So..so..so sad!

What a lovely post. It is so sad to see the destruction in Japan. Hopefully the world will step up and help this beautiful country rebound. Your little cup is such a treasure, so delicate. Your photos of it are beautiful

that photo just broke my heart....well all the photos out of japan have done that actually.....but a tiny part of me thought how great it would be to have some of those tiny pieces...like seashells or rocks from any beloved shoreline.....
